I haven't even seen screenshots of WoD and on the game FAQ at their forum the answer to every question is "unknown". I doubt it would enter beta this year. I don't think it would be Darkfall either, fileplanet doesn't look interested in indy developers. But who said the mystery game is gonna be a MMO anyway?

It's true. I don't remember it mentioning anything about MMOs, let alone MMORPGs. What ever it is, it will be STUPENDOUSLY huge. He did say stupendously huge - not stupendously good, though.

Yeah they didn't state is was going to be an mmo. But to be honest what normal PC games coming out soon enough that would be considered HUGE? Only two that I can think of, Diablo 3 and StarCraft 2.
Don't forget Spore coming out, that's huge as well. No signs point to it but its a huge title coming out soon. D3 isn't coming out soon I don't think... they just announced it.
On the right side of the letter there is a poll asking which MMO is most anticipated and WAR is winning. I would have guessed WAR anyways and that was another clue that makes me pretty confident that it is WAR he is talking about.
I also think it will be WAR. On the right side of the letter there is a poll asking which MMO is most anticipated and WAR is winning. I would have guessed WAR anyways and that was another clue that makes me pretty confident that it is WAR he is talking about.
Along with "who's your favourite ass kicking hero?" and "what will Blizzards next big announcement be?" If it IS an MMORPG, it's likely to be WAR. If it's not, I thought Spore was a good guess.
Came back after i noticed the bold letters in that post on FP. I didn't know what you meant at first, just thought you meant the letter from Ferret that was highlighted on the homepage, hehe.
I thought it would be WAR because it was the biggest mainstream beta i know of atm, but i don't see how darkness is soon could have anything to do with WAR. Makes sense to me now that people would think it could be darkfall. I never heard of WOD, but now that i have, i'm guessing that could definately be what Ferret is talking about. He sure did hype it up right there, whatever it is, so hopefully it will be good.
I just noticed 3 games on the reserve list that stood out to me with this whole "darkness" thing going on, one being D3, another is Alan Wake, and the third being Legendary.
Diablo III Demo
Diablo III picks up the story twenty years after the events of Diablo II. Mephisto, Diablo, and Baal had been defeated, but evil once again stirs in Tristram...
Alan Wake Demo
Alan Wake, the game's protagonist, is a bestselling horror writer, who writes a novel about his darkest nightmares. In the game, those nightmares come true...
Legendary
Legendary tells the story of an art thief who is duped into stealing and opening Pandora's Box releasing hordes of beasts thought to be fictional into an unprepared modern world.
Notice that Legendary doesn't say demo like the others do, could that be a sign?
My money is on C&C Red Alert 3. A dev at E3 on Livewire (IGN's show for E3) said they would have a Fileplanet beta some time soon. My othere guess is Warhammer.
probably warhammer. you know the saying "war is coming". the title of that is "yes, it's coming".
What does that have to do with anything? The article says "darkness is soon".
Look right under the date, that is the TITLE of the article...
July 29, 2008
Yes, it's coming...
W
hat's the next big beta? A question that assaults my mailbox. My answer is always the same, a knowing glance and a wicked smirk. We rarely let people know things are coming before they grace our front page as we keep things highly secretive. It's for this reason I'm thrilled to announce something stupendously huge is coming to FilePlanet. If you're not subscribed yet - I insist you do. That's all I can say right now, but have I ever written something like that before? Think hard on that, and read my upcoming blogs carefully for further information.
What has brought you into our FilePlanet family differs from person to person, but one thing is certain. Nothing beats the feeling of playing a game before EVERYBODY else. We've been proud to be on the forefront of that battlefield, not only providing our users with the chance play many AAA games first - but also support many phenomenal titles and help their success through promotion of demos and betas.
Over the next few days we'll be reflecting on the past games that our Subscribers and Users have had the privilege to try before anybody else. Here are our highlights in the First-Person Shooter Genre:
My god has horns.... nah, I don't think he is real either.
Indeed, but it could just as easily refer to one of the taglines for Darkfall. "Darkfall is coming." Its a common thing actually
Aside from that, I REALLY don't believe this is Darkfall, especially with the recent news about European distribution and how there's no servers in the US yet, so how can it be? AND they also said we wouldn't be paying anything to try the game. In fact, all evidence of the past two weeks makes this blatantly obvious that this won't be Darkfall, how anyone could think otherwise is beyond me.
This is like with PC gamer. No matter how many times I posted the link to the cover of the PC gamer magazine, which focused on Civilization and the new Crysis or something like that, people continued to speculate that it might be Darkfall. I can't blame them, people are desperate for it.
For the record, I'm not a troll, I fully believe Darkfall exists and I am eagerly awaiting its release.

my guess is stargate worlds if its an MMO
if its not i would guess spore or farcry 2
Deja vu. This is just another "PC Gamer Speculation" thread, IMO. It isnt Darkfall.
yea i believe it isnt
I also think it will be WAR.

Darkfall is unlikely to enter beta any time soon. Darkness is soon could be easily related to D3 or World of Darkness.
WAR should come out this fall, so it could be WAR beta too.
I believe there won't be a Darkfall beta this year, maybe in '09.
Maybe its the new Star Wars MMO beta? :P Who knows maybe Vivendi/Blizzard are going to publicly beta S2!
We will see...I hope its KOTOR MMO or Warhammer.

Good catch, you missed some of them that were bolder. I checked and did not see another post on this so hopefully I am not double posting this.

It's not Darkfall lol.
Go read the latest Dev Journal on Darkfall's forum, they said they will be having a European beta before NA.
Darkfall is also not stupendously huge, rather it is stupendously small.
It's WAR for sure, only large game near open beta.

My vote for best subliminal <F U!> post in 2008.
I caught it on the original, but its still the schiznit.
Darkfall is not "big, huge, awesome, or exciting"
The only MMO that is hyped to that level that is currently on the border of open beta is Warhammer. (IMHO).
Don't get me wrong, Personally I am not enthused about Warhammer, but --> Duh.
vapor.
Doesn't this whole Darkfall/Fileplanet thing remind anyone, but me of the whole PCGamer/Darkfall thing?
In War - Victory.
In Peace - Vigilance.
In Death - Sacrifice.
Darkfall is vapor.
lol
